Good little brother" puts its moral in the title: a young child is praised for looking after a smaller sibling, a theme that suited the sentimental family scenes Currier & Ives sold in large numbers. The firm, a New York lithography house run by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, published prints like this one, cheap enough for ordinary households, around 1872. Its catalog record, number 2637 in the 1983 Gale Research catalog raisonné, places it among the firm's many images of childhood from the 1870s.
